ELMONT, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — As the New York Islanders continue their run in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, their new home is almost ready.
UBS Arena at Belmont Park is expected to open around Thanksgiving, and will also be a world-class home for sports, concerts and festivals.
CBS2’s Lisa Rozner got an exclusive look inside on Wednesday.
Finishing touches are being put on the façade of the arena.
“We had to custom design the brick,” UBS Arena co-owner Tim Leiweke said.
And arches, a mirror image of the historic Belmont Park racetrack.
